Definitions
- the present application relates to beverage compositions, in particular carbonated soft drinks.
- beverage One of the key characteristics of a beverage is the flavor impression it provides to the consumer. This is particularly true of carbonated beverages normally referred to as "soft drinks.” Unlike drinking water, carbonated beverages provide a variety of flavor impressions. These flavor impressions are generated by natural flavor oils, flavor extracts and synthetically derived flavor materials. Different flavors are typically blended together to form a fuller, more complex flavor sensation.
- sweeteners such as saccharin, L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine lower alkyl esters and the like.
- the sweetness intensity imparted by these sweeteners can affect not only the overall desirability of the carbonated beverage, but can also affect the flavor impression provided by the particular blend of flavors.
- body refers to the fullness, roundness and richness of the flavor impression generated. As such, body primarily defines the quality of the particular flavor balance, rather than its quantity, i.e. strength, frequently, a beverage which has body also provides an apparent thickness texture effect, i.e. the tongue senses a perceived increase in viscosity unrelated to the instrumentally measured viscosity. By comparison, a beverage which lacks body is considered to be “watery” in flavor and texture.
- sucrose imparts body to such beverages.
- level of sucrose in a carbonated soft drink is decreased or removed entirely, the beverage can lack a fullness or richness of flavor.
- An increase in the sucrose level should likewise increase the body of a carbonated soft drink.
- too much sugar can significantly increase not only the caloric value of the beverage, but can also detract from the overall flavor impression. As such, the ability of sucrose to accent the body of a carbonated soft drink is significantly limited.
- sourness Another factor which contributes to the flavor impression of carbonated soft drinks is sourness, especially for those soft drinks formulated with citrus flavors such as orange. Sourness is imparted to the beverage not only by free hydronium ions but also by the particular edible acids in the beverage.
- citric acid is the most commonly used edible acid.
- phosphoric acid is the most commonly used edible acid.
- the pH of carbonated beverages can vary greatly. The ability to control sourness over this pH range is very important if the desired flavorful impression is to be provided for all carbonated soft drinks, no matter what the particular flavor system is.
- GB-A-883,169 describes a carbonated beverage powder containing carbonate salts and edible acids.
- the first form of this powder involves a mixture of calcium and potassium carbonate with citric acid which can provide a liquid beverage having a pH of preferably from 4.1-4.8. Other alkaline earth and alkali carbonates can be included in small amounts. Also, in addition to citric acid, phosphoric acid can be included, preferably in a derivative form such as hexosephosphoric acid or monocalcium phosphate.
- the second form of the powder (beverage pH of about 3.8) involves mixtures of sodium, potassium and ammonium carbonates or bicarbonates with hemisodium phosphate alone or in combination with orthophosphoric acid or citric acid.
- Example V discloses a carbonated beverage powder containing a mixture of calcium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, citric acid and monocalcium phosphate.
- US-A-3,939,289 discloses a dry carbonated beverage concentrate formed by co-grinding calcium carbonate with an anhydrous, edible acid such as citric or malic acid. Mixtures of sodium, potassium and ammonium carbonate can be included for supplemental carbonation. This patent teaches that sodium, potassium and ammonium carbonates provide an undesirable taste in carbonated beverages which is improved by substitution of calcium carbonates or bicarbonates. See also US ⁇ A ⁇ 3,965,273 which discloses a similar dry carbonated beverage concentrate containing a solid suspension of finely-divided calcium carbonate dispersed within a matrix of a carbohydrate such as sugar.
- US-A-2,868,646 describes a sugar-acid crystal blend and a sugar-carbonate crystal blend which are made separately, mixed together and then coated to form a dry carbonated beverage concentrate.
- a mixture of edible acids such as citric, malic and phosphoric acid can be used.
- Sodium bicarbonate is the preferred bicarbonate although other non-toxic alkali metal and alkaline earth metal bicarbonates can be used instead.
- US ⁇ A ⁇ 3,985,562 discloses an effervescent tablet formed from a mixture of alkali metal carbonates or bicarbonates (e.g., sodium, potassium and calcium) with a mixture of edible acids such as citric and malic acid.
- US-A-4,322,407 discloses an electrolyte drink (pH preferably 6.8-7.4) containing various components in key ratios.
- the components include potassium ions, sodium ions, magnesium ions, phosphate ions and citrate ions.
- This patent states that the unpleasant taste of the electrolytes can be masked by balancing the relative ratios.
- US-A-4,325,975 discloses a mineralized drinking water free of sodium and potassium ions which contains strontium, magnesium, calcium and lithium ions.
- US-A-2,984,543 sodium, potassium, calcium or magnesium carbonates or bicarbonates in finely divided form impregnated with a hydrophilic gum and then admixed with an edible acid such as citric and/or malic acid
- US-A-2,463,962 beverage carbonation composition containing a carbamino salt of calcium or magnesium and an edible acid such as citric and/or malic acid
- US-A-3,660,107 carbonated beverage powder and tableted beverage composition containing a mixture of citric acid, tartaric acid, and sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate
- US ⁇ A ⁇ 3,649,298 dry carbonated beverage concentrate containing N-carboxy-amino acids, various carbonates and bicarbonates of alkali metal and alkaline earth metals such as sodium, potassium and calcium, and edible acids such as citric acid
- US-A-4,127,645 carbonated tablet containing alkali metal or al
- the present invention relates to beverage compositions especially suitable for carbonated soft drinks which maximize the delivery of body and unexpectedly minimize the precipitation of insoluble salts, even when prepared as beverage concentrates and syrups.
- These compositions provide liquid beverages having a pH of from 2.5 to 6.5 and a flavor component which contains a flavor selected from fruit flavors, botanical flavor and mixtures thereof.
- These compositions also contain at least 0.03% by weight of a cation component defined by the formula: wherein Ca is the weight ratio of calcium in the cation component, Mg is the weight ratio of magnesium, K is the weight ratio of potassium, and B is from 10.0 to 11.3.
- an edible acid component defined by the formula: wherein cit is the weight ratio of citric acid in the acid component, mal is the weight ratio of malic, succinic or a mixture of malic and succinic acid, phos is the weight ratio of phosphoric acid, and A is from 9.6 to 11.1.
- the cation component which contains a mixture of key cations (calcium and potassium, or preferably calcium, magnesium and potassium) in combination with the acid component which contains key edible acids (citric acid, malic acid/succinic acid, and phosphoric acid), provide improved overall flavor impressions in liquid beverages, especially carbonated soft drinks.
- the specific cation-acid mixtures impart an improved sweetness perception to the beverage.
- the specific mixtures of cations-acids impart significantly increased body to the overall flavor and texture impression.
- the sourness of the beverage can be controlled over a broad pH range.
- the specific cation-acid mixtures of the present invention achieve the above objects while avoiding several problems of prior art beverage tablets or powders which use cation carbonates (or bicarbonates) and edible acids to generate carbonated beverages.
- One of these problems is the off-notes imparted by some of the cations.
- calcium can impart a chalky note
- potassium can impart a salty and bitter taste when used at too high a level.
- liquid beverage compositions of the present invention not only have improved flavor (e.g. no chalky note due to insoluble calcium salts), but can also be formulated into storage-stable concentrate and syrup forms. These stable concentrates and syrups can be subsequently mixed with water to form single-strength liquid beverages according to standard carbonated beverage industry practice.
- the flavor component of the beverage compositions of the present invention contains a flavor selected from fruit flavors, botanical flavors and mixtures thereof.
- the term "fluit flavor” refers to those flavors derived from the edible reproductive part of a seed plant, especially one having a sweet pulp associated with the seed.
- fruit flavor also included within the term “fruit flavor” are synthetically prepared flavors made to simulate fruit flavors derived from natural sources. Particularly preferred fruit flavors are the citrus flavors including orange flavors, lemon flavors, lime flavors and grapefruit flavors.
- the present invention is particularly suitable in the formulation of beverages containing orange flavors.
- citrus flavors a variety of other fruit flavors can be used such as apple flavors, grape flavors, cherry flavors, pineapple flavors and the like. These fruit flavors can be derived from natural sources such as fruit juices and flavor oils, or else synthetically prepared.
- botanical flavor refers to flavors derived from parts of a plant other than the fruit.
- botanical flavors can include those flavors derived from nuts, bark, roots and leaves.
- synthetically prepared flavors made to simulate botanical flavors derived from natural sources. Examples of such flavors include kola flavors, tea flavors and the like. Kola flavors are particularly suitable in liquid beverages of the present invention. These botanical flavors can be derived from natural sources such as essential oils and extracts, or else can be synthetically prepared.
- the flavor component comprises a blend of various flavors, e.g. lemon and lime flavors, kola flavors with citrus flavors to form cola flavors, etc.
- fruit juices such as orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice and the like can be used in the flavor component.
- the flavors in the flavor component are normally formed into emulsion droplets which are then dispersed in the beverage. Because these droplets usually have a specific gravity less than that of water and would therefore form a separate phase, weighting agents (which may also act as clouding agents) are typically used to keep the emulsion droplets dispersed in the beverage. Examples of such weighting agents are brominated vegetable oils (BVO) and rosin esters, in particular the ester gums. See L. F.
- weighting and clouding agents in liquid beverages.
- emulsifiers and emulsion stabilizers can be used to stabilize the emulsion droplets.
- examples of such emulsifiers and emulsion stabilizers include the gums, pectins, celluloses, polysorbates, sorbitan esters and propylene glycol alginates. See L. F. Green, supra at p. 92.
- the particular amount of the flavor component effective for imparting flavor characteristics to the beverage compositions of the present invention can depend upon the flavor(s) selected, the flavor impression desired, and the form of the flavor component.
- the flavor component can comprise at least 0.05% by weight of the beverage composition, and typically from 0.1 to 0.25% by weight for carbonated beverages.
- the flavor component can comprise from 5 to 50% by weight of the beverage composition, and preferably from 5 to 10% by weight for carbonated beverages.
- the cation component of the beverage compositions of the present invention comprises a mixture of calcium and potassium cations, and preferably a mixture of calcium, magnesium and potassium cations.
- These cations can be present, for example, as the respective carbonates, bicarbonates, hydroxides or sour salts, e.g. magnesium citrate.
- Other cations such as ammonium and sodium can also be optionally included in the cation component. However, because these cations impart less desirable ammonia and salty flavor notes, respectively, addition thereof should be at minimal levels or preferably not at all.
- the cationic component of the present invention is graphically represented in Figure 1 as a ternary diagram. Each apex of the ternary diagram represents a 1.00 weight ratio (100 weight percent) of the particular cation.
- Contour line B 10 encloses the area defining acceptable cation mixtures according to the present invention.
- Contour line B11 encloses the area defining preferred cation mixtures according to the present invention.
- the edible acid component of the beverage compositions of the present invention comprises phosphoric acid, malic/citric acid or citric/phosphoric acid, or preferably a mixture of citric, malic and phosphoric acid.
- succinic acid can be wholly or partly substituted therefor.
- These acids can be present in their undisassociated form or else as the respective sour salts, e.g. citrate, malate, dihydrogen phosphate, etc.
- other edible acids such as tartaric acid, fumaric acid, and the like can also be included in the acid component.
- the edible acid component is represented graphically in Figure 2 by a ternary diagram. Each apex of this ternary diagram represents a 1.00 weight ratio (100 weight percent) of the particular acid.
- Contour line Ag. 6 encloses the area defining acceptable acid components according to the present invention.
- Contour lines A 10 and An enclose the areas defining preferred and most preferred acid components according to the present invention.
- suitable cation-acid mixtures for beverage compositions according to the present invention can be easily formulated.
- a point can be selected within the area enclosed by contour line B 10 (or preferably B11) and the relative percentage of each of the cations (calcium, magnesium, potassium) for this point can be read off from the ternary diagram.
- a point can be selected within the area enclosed by contour line Ag. 6 or preferably A 10 or A") and the relative percentage of each of the acids (citric, malic (succinic), phosphoric) for this point can be read off from the ternary diagram.
- the combination of the two points selected give a suitable cation-acid mixture.
- the ternary diagrams for the cation and acid components were developed by evaluating a number of attributes of liquid beverages containing different mixtures of these key cations and acids. These attributes were solubility, body, sweetness, sourness, bitterness, saltiness and off-notes. Solubility, body, sweetness and sourness are considered to be positive attributes; bitterness, saltiness and off-notes are considered to be negative attributes. Of the positive attributes, sweetness and body were determined to be the most important.
- the solubility attribute was measured by determining the amount of solid material which precipitated from the liquid beverage (in concentrate form) over time.
- the other six attributes were measured through organoleptic testing.
- a panel of 15 expert tasters evaluated several sets of beverage samples containing 10 selected mixtures of cations (acid component held constant) and 10 selected mixtures of acids (cation component held constant).
- the expert panelists determined a rating of from 1 (low in attribute) to 9 (high in attribute) for each of the six attributes for each sample tested.
- the weight ratio of acids was important for sweetness and sourness. Sweetness became less and sourness became more as the weight percentage of citric and malic acid increased; conversely, sweetness became more and sourness less as the weight percentage of phosphoric acid increased. Potassium contributed most to bitterness and saltiness; these off-notes were sharply reduced by increases in the amount of calcium and magnesium which also provide nutritional supplementation.
- the weight ratio of cations was important to perceived sweetness and body. Solubility was determined most by the relative percentage of citric acid and calcium.
- contour lines in Figures 1 and 2 can also be defined by regression formulas.
- the relative weight percent of the cations for the area enclosed by contour line B lo is defined by the formula: wherein Ca is the weight ratio of calcium in the cation component, Mg is the weight ratio of magnesium, K is the weight ratio of potassium, and B is from 10.0 to 11.3.
- B is from 11.0 to 11.3.
- the relative weight percent of the edible acids for the area enclosed by contour line Ag .6 is defined by the formula: wherein cit is the weight ratio of citric acid in the acid component, mal is the weight ratio of malic, succinic or a mixture of malic and succinic acid, phos is the weight ratio of phosphoric acid, and A is from 9.6 to 12.1.
- A is from 10.0 to 12.1, or from 11.0 to 12.1
- the cation component comprises at least 0.03% by weight of the beverage composition, while the edible acid component comprises at least 0.06% by weight of the beverage composition.
- the cation component comprises from 0.1 to 0.6% by weight, while the edible acid component comprises from 0.3 to 1.2% by weight.
- the pH of the liquid beverage depends most on the ratio of the cation component to the acid component, but can also be affected by the particular cation mixture and the particular acid mixture.
- the pH ranges from 2.5 to 6.5.
- Preferred liquid carbonated beverage compositions have a pH of from 3.5 to 4.8.
- the pH can be controlled primarily by adjusting the relative weight ratio of the cations to the acids; sourness can be controlled primarily by adjusting the concentration of the particular cation-acid mixture.
- Beverage compositions of the present invention normally contain a sweetener.
- the sweetener typically used is sugar.
- sugar refers to mono- and di-saccharide sweeteners. Examples of such sugars include sucrose, glucose, fructose (either pure ortypically as a high fructose corn syrup), invert sugar and the like. Preferred sugars are sucrose and fructose in the form of a high fructose corn syrup.
- non-caloric sweeteners can be used. These sweeteners can be either derived from natural sources or else synthetically prepared. Examples of such sweeteners include saccharin, cyclamates, acetosulfam, sorbitol, xylitol, L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine lower alkyl ester sweeteners. L-aspartyl-D-alanine alkyl amides disclosed in EP-A-34,876, L-aspartyl-L-1-hydroxymethylalkaneamide sweeteners disclosed in US-A-4,338,346, and L-aspartyl-1-hydroxyethylalkaneamide sweeteners disclosed in US-A-4,423,029.
- the cation-acid mixtures of the present invention are particularly suitable for increasing the body of liquid beverages containing such non-nutritive sweeteners or mixtures of these sweeteners with from 1 to 3% by weight sugar.
- the cation-acid mixtures of the present invention can provide improved hydrolytic stability for beverages containing L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine ester (e.g. aspartame) sweeteners in the critical pH range of from 4.0 to 4.8.
- the amount of the sweetener effective in the liquid beverage depends upon the particular sweetener(s) used and the sweetness intensity desired. For noncaloric sweeteners, this amount varies depending upon the sweetness intensity of the particular sweetener.
- the amount of the sweetener can be from 1 to 14% (typically from 6 to 14%) by weight for a single-strength liquid carbonated beverage.
- Preferred single-strength beverages contain from 9 to 13% by weight sugar.
- the amount of sugar in a beverage syrup is from 30 to 70% by weight.
- such beverage syrups contain from 40 to 60% by weight sugar.
